I have to admit, I like this blue/black G10 better than the green G10 of the predecssor.

Re: It's back!!
Thanks for the heads up Tim. I just ordered one. I noticed they changed the SKU # on this one. Because of the change in handle material???
I dropped my first one and broke a big chip out of the handle down by the lanyard hole. A little while later, I found the chip on the floor, picked it up and couldn't figure out where it came from. It lay here on my desk for several weeks and I almost threw it away. One day I happened to remove the knife from the folder and that's when I discovered where the chip came from. I glued it back in but didn't do a very good job. When it hit, besides breaking out a chunk of the handle, it dinged the lanyard tube and the chip wouldn't snuggle up nice and cozy.

I asked them if were going to make one with bone handles.

Re: It's back!!
I too just ordered this knife two days ago. Should be getting it in a couple more days. I do love that Wharncliffe blade.

Re: It's back!!
Wow! I’m not in to RR knives, but dang that’s a looker. I love G10, and that swedge! I’m a sucker for a swedge. Good looking knife!

Re: It's back!!
I got mine today.
It’s a real beauty. Feels great and I can’t believe the price.
Denim micarta scales are really nice.
Looks like this second Rough Ryder has me on the bandwagon.

Re: It's back!!
I picked one up, too. In hand, it's a very nice knife. The swedge, through the nail nick makes it a great looking blade. It's definitely shaving sharp, out of the box.

Just got an email from SMKW that mine has been shipped.
